PhD studentships -- Numerics of Machine Learning

Abstract

We are looking for students interested in developing novel algorithms for machine intelligence.

Description

We are looking for students interested in developing novel algorithms for machine intelligence. Candi- dates should have an excellent Masters degree in computer science, mathematics or physics. Coding skills, as well as experience in areas like machine learning, statistics, or numerical methods are desirable. Most important is a strong interest in the mathematical concepts and computational aspects underlying machine intelligence. There is no deadline; PhD positions are continuously available for suitable candidates.

The Max-Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its work- force and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals. The Max-Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.

The MPI for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen is a world-class center for foundational research in machine learning, computer vision and robotics. The majority of the scientific employees come from outside of Germany, we generally work in English. You will work with gifted students and experienced scientists from all over the world; and have access to excellent infrastructure. Tübingen is a scenic medieval university town. The area is simultaneously one of Germany’s most beautiful landscapes and one of Europe’s economic powerhouses. The MPI complements the high German standard of social benefits (like paid parental leave for both parents) with additional amenities like on-site childcare to offer a productive environment with great work-life balance.

Our goal is to understand the principles of Perception, Action and Learning in autonomous systems that successfully interact with complex environments and to use this understanding to design future systems
